Police were alerted when Miss Makin’s parents, who live a few doors away, noticed her curtains still drawn on Thursday afternoon.

There was nothing they could do for Chloe, but an ambulance crew took her mother to hospital where she remains in intensive care.

Miss Makin had a long-standing entry on her Facebook page that read: “I like to go out on a Friday come back Monday with no recollection of what I have done over the weekend.”

Another message gave an indication of the emotional turmoil was going through after a broken romance.

This read: "I want to be the girl he's scared to lose; the one where he can't walk away from knowing she's mad at him, The one who can't fall asleep without her voice being the last one he hears. The one he can't live without."

A card in the lounge window, written in a child’s hand, bore the message: “I love you, Chloe”.

According to neighbours, Miss Makin was normally “a happy-go-lucky” sort of woman and “a loving mother”. One said: “She was a quiet, nice girl.”

Chief Supt Jon Rush, of Greater Manchester Police, said: “We are currently trying to establish what has gone on but what we know is that a four-year-old girl has lost her life and that is clearly very tragic. It appears to have come out of the blue”.
